Digital technologies being built in Cambridge and beyond are reshaping health, business, education, public services and the economy. Inside out A digital society – the Spotlight focus this issue – also raises challenges. The more connected we are, the more we open ourselves to risk, whether it’s from cybercrime, invasions 34 – 35 Welcome to the alien world of data of privacy, digital infrastructures that are not up to the job or, ultimately, the advent of machines that are more intelligent than we are. Here in Cambridge, we understand that addressing these challenges needs social sciences and computer sciences to work together, and we think this is an area where we make a difference. Among various initiatives, we have strategic research priorities in Digital Humanities, Big Data and Public Policy, and we are a partner in the UK’s national centre for data science, the Alan Turing Institute. In addition, the recently funded Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence will help us to look at some of the overarching issues at play. As well as our focus on digital society, we also cover a fascinating breadth of other areas in this edition of Research Horizons: singing sand dunes and flamenco flashmobs, a chance observation that led to a breakthrough cancer drug, how to keep patients safe in hospital, the sights, sounds and ‘feel’ of a data centre, and some of the amazing Bronze Age treasures discovered at what’s been dubbed ‘Britain’s Pompeii’.

Boon ESPECIALMENTE ELABORADA PARA OBTER O GRAU DE DOUTOR EM QUÍMICA (QUÍMICA) 2015 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work would never been possible without the help, guidance, encouragement, and belief of so many people that it’s hard not miss anyone who contributed in some way to the completion of this thesis. First I have to acknowledge my supervisors: Prof. Helena for accepting me as her PhD student on a project she had no idea of, for mentoring me always and gave me the liberty to learn from others in the conservation field, and for all the valuable lessons in Life and Mass Spectrometry, as well as in Analytical sciences in general; and to Prof Jaap Boon who I met personally in 2006 at the end of the De Mayerne Programs and who believed that I could be trusted with a project that was not far from what he had built up in the previous Molart program, for building a project that is somehow a gap in our knowledge and giving me the best advice during all these years now: “don’t try to reinvent the wheel” and “think critically”.
